The 2012 Gift Guide

The Rolling Stones: 1972, Photographs by Jim MarshallThe Rolling Stones' 1972 American tour was bigger than anything that had come before it. Marshall, who covered the tour for Life magazine, got complete access to the band, and the stunning images in this collection show the Stones in all their strung-out Exile on Main Street-era splendor – recording in Los Angeles, chilling backstage and strutting across some very lucky concert stages. ($25)

360 Sound by Sean WilzentzColumbia Records – home of Springsteen, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, among many others – celebrates its 125th birthday with class: the label commissioned Princeton historian Wilentz to write this engrossing survey of its incredible run from John Philip Sousa to Adele. With over 300 images from the Columbia archives, 360 Sound is 2012's coffee-table must-own. ($45)

Steve Schapiro: Then and NowThis stunning coffee-table book collects 50 years of photos by Schapiro, an occasional Rolling Stone contributor. It's full of fantastic candids of film and music stars – from Robert De Niro to New Kids on the Block. ($85)

101 Essential Rock Records by Jeff GoldThis survey of "the golden age of vinyl," from Please Please Me in 1963 to Never Mind the Bollocks in 1977, is record-nerd eye candy, and an insight-filled look at how great art begets great art.
